Sweepstakes winner to receive ‘build your own’ dream trip to New York City

APPLETON, Wis. (Oct. 1, 2013) — Miller Electric Mfg. Co. is proud to take you inside the walls of Hendrick Motorsports as part of the WE BUILD campaign and BUILD & WIN promotion, which recognize the hard-working men and women of welding. The newly released “WE BUILD Championships” video is available just as Hendrick Motorsports driver Jimmie Johnson has taken the checkered flag this past weekend at Dover International Speedway in his quest to capture a sixth NASCAR® Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

“Our WE BUILD campaign recognizes what the men and women of welding, together with Miller® products, bring into this world to make it a brighter, bigger and better place,” said Rich Thompson, VP, marketing, Miller. “Now, it continues with a sneak peek of the expert welders at Hendrick Motorsports. While championships are won on the track, the foundation for success begins with the first weld bead laid on the race car frame by the welding pros in the shop. Excellence like the kind achieved at Hendrick is the essence of the Miller brand.”

Hendrick chassis fabricator Scott Shriver is a pro’s pro and one of the behind-the-scenes team members that help drivers like Johnson win races. Shriver has moved up through the ranks of racing and welding to arrive at the top of his game at Hendrick. Like so many users of Miller equipment, Shriver demands the best tools to build his projects. Hear his story and find out what motivates him to be a champion in the just released “WE BUILD Championships” video.
